Lovers of snow, sleet and freezing temperatures, rejoice: according to Ontario’s best-known groundhog and his U.S. and Atlantic Canada counterparts, winter will stick around for six more weeks.

“My shadow I see beside me,” it was read. “Six more weeks of winter it will be!”

If no shadow was s seen, legend says, spring will come early.

Oh well what can you do. Can’t argue with Mother Nature.  Guess I will go and bring in a bit more firewood.
